1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeThe purpose of this study was to assess the level of knowledge about prevention of mother-to-child transmission option B+ and associated factors among antenatal care clients in Kombolcha town; 2017.

methodsAn institutional-based cross-sectional study design was conducted from May 1 to 30, 2017. Simple random sampling techniques were used to select 129 study subjects from May 1 to 30, 2017. A chi-square test was done by using SPSS 20 to assess the association between the dependent and independent variables. Frequency tables, pie chart, and graphs were used to present the findings of the study.

resultsAmong the total study participants, 61% had adequate knowledge about prevention of mother-to-child transmission Option B+. This study found a strong positive association between knowledge of prevention of mother-to-child transmission B+ option and age, educational status, occupational status, number of ANC follow-up visits for the current pregnancy and number of parity.

conclusionThis study showed more than half of these study participants had adequate knowledge about the prevention of mother-to-child transmission B+ option. Age, educational status, employment, parity and number of antenatal care visits had a statistically significant association with pregnant womens' knowledge of prevention of mother-to-child transmission B+ option. Therefore, it is better to design to give health education on prevention of mother-to-child transmission B+ option particularly for older age, uneducated, unemployed, partiy of one pregnant women.
